Definitions

  • the present invention relates to mobile communications, and more particularly, to the reservation of a particular class or quality of service for individual mobile communications.
  • GSM System for Mobile communications
  • New data applications include wireless personal computers, mobile offices, electronic funds transfer, road transport telemetry, field service businesses, fleet management, etc. These applications are characterized by "bursty" traffic. In other words, a relatively large amount of data is transmitted over a relatively short time interval followed by significant time intervals when little or no data is transmitted.
  • packet-switched communications mechanisms better utilize the transmission medium than circuit-switched mechanisms.
  • the transmission medium is used only on demand, and a single physical channel can be shared by many users.
  • Another advantage is that in contrast to time-oriented charging applied for circuit-switched connections, packet-switched data services allow charging depending on the amount of data transmission and on the quality of service of that transmission.
  • packet radio services like the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) incorporated in GSM, accommodate connectionless, packet-switched data services with high bandwidth efficiency.
  • GPRS General Packet Radio Service
  • CDPD Cellular Digital Packet Data
  • a significant interest of end users of a mobile packet data service such as GPRS is that wireless PCs support conventional Internet-based applications like file transfer, submission and reception of e-mail, and "surfing" the Internet via the worldwide web.
  • Video is also a possible important element of multimedia services that may ultimately be supported by GPRS-type services.
  • Fig. 1 shows a mobile data service from a user's point of view in the context of a mobile communications system 10.
  • An end user communicates data packets using a mobile host 12 including for example a laptop computer 14 connected to a mobile terminal 16.
  • the mobile host 12 communicates for example with a fixed computer terminal 18 incorporated in a local area network (LAN) 20 through a mobile packet data support node 22 via one or more routers 24, a packet data network 26, and a router 28 in the local area network 20.
  • LAN local area network
  • a mobile packet data support node 22 which acts as a logical interface or gateway to external packet networks.
  • a subscriber may send and receive data in an end-to-end packet transfer mode without using any network resources in a circuit- switched mode.
  • multiple point-to-point, parallel sessions are possible.
  • a mobile host like a mobile PC might run several applications at one time like a video conference, an e-mail communication, or facsimile web browsing, etc.
  • Fig. 2 shows a more detailed mobile communications system using the example GSM mobile communications model that supports both circuit-switched and packet-switched communications.
  • a mobile host 12 including a computer terminal 14 and mobile radio 16 communicates over a radio interface with one or more base stations (BSs) 32. Each base station 32 is located in a corresponding cell 30. Multiple base stations 32 are connected to a base station controller (BSC) 34 which manages the allocation and deallocation of radio resources and controls handovers of mobile stations from one base station to another.
  • BSC base station controller
  • a base station controller and its associated base stations are sometimes referred to as a base station subsystem (BSS).
  • the BSC 34 is connected to a mobile switching center (MSC) 36 through which circuit-switched connections are set up with other networks 38 such as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), etc.
  • PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
  • ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network
  • the MSC 36 is also connected via a Signaling System Number 7 (SS7) network 40 to a Home Location Register (HLR) 42, a Visitor Location Register (VLR) 44, and Authentication Center (AuC) 46.
  • the VLR 44 includes a database containing the information about all mobile stations currently located in a corresponding location or service area as well as temporary subscriber information needed by the MSC to provide services to mobiles in its service area.
  • the corresponding VLR 44 requests and receives data about the roaming mobile station from the mobile's HLR and stores it.
  • the visiting mobile station is involved in a call, the VLR 44 already has the information needed for call setup.
  • the HLR 42 is a database node that stores and manages subscriptions. For each "home" mobile subscriber, the HLR contains permanent subscriber data such as the mobile station ISDN number (MSISDN) which uniquely identifies the mobile telephone subscription in the PSTN numbering plan and an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) which is a unique identity allocated to each subscriber and used for signaling in the mobile networks. All network-related subscriber information is connected to the IMSI.
  • MSISDN mobile station ISDN number
  • IMSI international mobile subscriber identity
  • the HLR 42 also contains a list of services which a mobile subscriber is authorized to use along with a current subscriber location number corresponding to the address of the VLR currently serving the mobile subscriber.
  • Each BSC 34 also connects to a GPRS network 51 at a Serving GPRS
  • the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) 54 acts as a logical interface to external data packet networks such as the IP data network 56.
  • SGSN nodes 50 and GGSN nodes 54 are connected by an intra-PLMN IP backbone 52.
  • IP Internet protocol
  • the Internet protocol (IP) is used as the backbone to transfer PDUs.
  • PDUs protocol data units
  • This encapsulation/decapsulation at the IP level between the SGSN 50 and the GGSN 54 is called “tunneling" in GPRS.
  • the GGSN 54 maintains routing information used to "tunnel" PDUs to the SGSN 50 currently serving the mobile station.
  • a common GPRS Tunnel Protocol (GTP) enables different packet data protocols to be employed even if those protocols are not supported by all of the SGSNs. All GPRS user-related data needed by the SGSN to perform the routing and data transfer functionality is accessed from the HLR 42 via the SS7 network 40.
  • the HLR 42 stores routing information and maps the IMSI to one or more packet data protocol (PDP) addresses as well as mapping each PDP address to one or more GGSNs.
  • PDP packet data protocol
  • the mobile host 12 Before a mobile host can send packet data to a corresponding external host like the Internet service provider (ISP) 58 in Fig. 2, the mobile host 12 has to "attach" to the GPRS network 51 to make its presence known and to create a packet data protocol (PDP) context to establish a relationship with a gateway GGSN 54 towards the external network that the mobile host is accessing.
  • the attach procedure is carried out between the mobile host 12 and the SGSN 50 to establish a logical link.
  • a temporary logical link identity is assigned to the mobile host 12.
  • a PDP context is established between the mobile host and the GGSN 54.
  • the selection of GGSN 54 is based on the name of the external network to be reached.
  • One or more application flows may be established for a single PDP context through negotiations with the GGSN 54.
  • An application flow corresponds to a stream of data packets distinguishable as being associated with a particular host application.
  • An example application flow is an electronic mail message from the mobile host to a fixed terminal.
  • Another example application flow is a link to a particular Internet Service Provider (ISP) to download a graphics file from a web site. Both of these application flows are associated with the same mobile host and the same PDP context.
  • ISP Internet Service Provider
  • Fig. 3 shows a GPRS "transmission plane" that is modeled with multi-layer protocol stacks.
  • the GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnels the PDUs through the GPRS backbone network 52 by adding routing information.
  • the GTP header contains a tunnel end point identifier for point-to-point and multicast packets as well as a group identity for point-to-multipoint packets.
  • a type field that specifies the PDU type and a quality of service profile associated with a PDP context session are included.
  • TCP/UDP Transmission Control Protocol/User Diagram Protocol
  • IP Internet Protocol
  • SNDCP SubNetwork Dependent Convergence Protocol
  • LLC logical link control
  • a Base Station System GPRS Protocol is a flow control protocol, which allows the base station system to start and stop PDUs sent by the SGSN. This ensures that the BSS is not flooded by packets in case the radio link capacity is reduced, e.g., because of fading and other adverse conditions. Routing and quality of service information are also conveyed. Frame relay and ATM may be used to relay frames of PDUs over the physical layer.
  • Radio communication between the mobile station and the GPRS network covers physical and data link layer functionality.
  • the physical layer is split up into a physical link sublayer (PLL) and a physical RF sublayer (RFL).
  • RFL performs modulation and demodulation of the physical waveforms and specifies carrier frequencies, radio channel structures, and raw channel data rates.
  • PLL provides services for information transfer over the physical radio channel and includes data unit framing, data coding, and detection/correction of physical medium transmission areas.
  • the data link layer is separated into two distinct sublayers.
  • the radio link control/medium access control (RLC/MAC) sublayer arbitrates access to the shared physical radio medium between multiple mobile stations and the GPRS network.
  • RLC/MAC radio link control/medium access control
  • the RLC/MAC multiplexes data and signaling information, performs contention resolution, quality service control, and error handling.
  • the logical link control (LLC) layer operates above the MAC layer and provides a logical link between the mobile host and the SGSN.
  • Quality of service corresponds to the goodness (quality) with which a certain operation (service) is performed. Certain services like multimedia applications or a simple phone call need guarantees about accuracy, dependability, and speed of transmission. Typically, in data communications, "best efforts" are employed, and no special attention is paid to delay or throughput guarantees.
  • quality of service parameters can be characterized qualitatively in three services classes including deterministic (used for hard, real-time application), statistical (used for soft real-time applications), and best effort (everything else where no guarantees are made).
  • Quantitative parameters may include throughput (such as the average data rate or peak data rate), reliability, delay, and jitter corresponding to the variation delay between a minimum and maximum delay time that a message experiences.
  • each PDP context may have plural application flows.
  • Each application flow in a current PDP context/session likely has different per packet delays needs. For example, real time applications like telephony require a guaranteed service while image video needs a predicted delay service. More specifically, elastic applications like interactive bursts, interactive bulk transfer, and asynchronous bulk transfer require different degrees of as soon as possible (or best effort) delay service.
  • the present invention defines a quality of service for each individual application flow.
  • An appropriate quality of service is separately reserved, monitored, and regulated for each application flow in a PDP context.
  • the present invention provides a dynamic quality of service reservation mechanism per PDP context which is introduced into a mobile data communications system in order to function as a quality of service "aware" client network layer that permits integration with other data service architectures such as the Internet to permit an end-to-end integrated service where quality of service can be specified from the mobile host all the way to a fixed host in an end-to-end communication.
  • a mobile communication system is provided where a mobile host communicates packet data with an external network by way of a packet gateway node.
  • the mobile host establishes a packet session during which plural application flows are communicated with an external network entity.
  • Each application flow includes a corresponding stream of packets.
  • a corresponding quality of service parameter is defined and reserved for each of the plural application flows. In this way, different quality of service parameters may be defined and reserved for different ones of the application flows. Packets corresponding to each of the application flows are then delivered, for example, from the external network entity all the way to the mobile host in accordance with the quality of service reserved for that application flow.
  • quality of service may include delay classes that specify a maximum packet transfer rate, a mean packet transfer rate, and a packet burst size of an individual application flow.
  • Data services subscription information is stored for each mobile host and specifies whether the mobile host subscribes to a static or dynamic quality of service. If a dynamic quality of service is subscribed to where QoS may be specified for each application flow, the subscription information for such a mobile host defines specifically subscribed to quality of service parameters or classes. Then when the mobile host establishes a packet session, each subscribed quality of service class is made available for application flows which are activated during that session.
  • the process of establishing a packet session includes the mobile host "attaching" to the network (or other equivalent operation) and communicating a packet session start/activate message to the gateway node. Moreover, an end-to-end configuration procedure is established between the mobile terminal and the external network entity at the other end. That end-to-end configuration assigns a network packet layer address to the mobile host.
  • end-to-end configurations may exist on the same PDP context, and several application flows may exist using the same configuration. As a result, plural application flows may be flexibly established during the mobile host session having different network layer (e.g., IP) addresses and different qualities of service.
  • the gateway node functions as a dynamic host configuration agent serving the client mobile host relaying packets between the mobile host and the external network entity.
  • a relationship is also established in the gateway node between a mobile host identifier (e.g., the mobile's IMSI), the established data communications tunnel, and the network layer address stored for the mobile host for the established session.
  • a mobile host identifier e.g., the mobile's IMSI
  • the gateway node analyzes received packets and only permits those packets having a destination or source corresponding to one of the mobile host network layer addresses stored for the established session.
  • a packet serving node is provided between the packet gateway node and the mobile host.
  • the serving node determines if the reservation request for the particular quality of service can be supported from the serving node to the mobile host based on a current traffic load of existing radio communications in the area where the mobile host is currently being served.
  • the serving node estimates delay and bandwidth requirements corresponding to the requested quality of service and provides them to the gateway node.
  • the gateway node monitors that application flow to ensure that the reserved quality of service is met using appropriate packet classifying and transfer scheduling procedures.
  • the serving node For packets destined for mobile hosts, the serving node merges those packets from different sessions corresponding to the same mobile hosts which have the same quality of service. The serving node also merges packets destined for different mobile hosts located in the same geographical service area that have the same quality of service. Packets destined for the same geographical service area but having different qualities of service are assigned to different priority queues that correspond to those different qualities of service and are forwarded to the particular radio access network within the geographical area.

  • the final step relates to the forwarding of IP data packets between the external host such as the ISP 58 and the mobile host 12 (block 118).
  • IP packet forwarding includes packet classifying, scheduling/queuing, and policing procedures (block 1 18). Detailed procedures for each of blocks 112-118 are now described in turn below.

  • ISP Internet Service Provider
  • the mobile host sends an "activate PDP context request" message to the SGSN which includes an access point name (APN), i.e., the name of the ISP, a PDP type which in this example is IP, a Quality of Service (QoS) definition for this PDP context request itself which in this example is QoS class 4 Best Efforts (BE), and an end-to-end configuration request.
  • APN access point name

  • end-to-end configuration request Rather than requesting an IP address, the mobile host sends the end-to-end configuration request parameter to request a dynamic PDP address allocation after the PDP context has been established.
  • the SGSN Upon receiving the activate PDP context request message from the mobile host, the SGSN checks the mobile's subscription in the HLR to determine whether the mobile host subscribes to a static or dynamic quality of service reservation. In static QoS reservation, all application flows receive the QoS established for the PDP context/data session. In dynamic QoS reservation, a QoS may be specified for individual application flows. A dynamic quality of service reservation subscription is assumed in this example.

  • the SGSN sends to the GGSN a "create PDP context request" message along with the APN, PDP type, quality of service, TID, and end-to-end configuration request.
  • the GGSN functions as a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) relay agent.
  • DHCP is a protocol for allocating Internet protocol addresses to users. The allocation of the IP address is performed by a DHCP server, which in this example is the ISP 58, and the mobile host is the DHCP client.
  • the GGSN also performs translation of the access point name to the ISP address via the domain name system, and allocates a DHCP relay to the PDP request. Again, no IP address is yet allocated to the mobile host.

  • TID tunnel identifier
  • the GGSN functioning as the DHCP relay, selects a predefined tunnel or bearer for the selected access point name.
  • the SGSN then sends an "activate PDP context accept" message to the mobile host.
  • the logical tunnel/bearer is essentially open for packet traffic between the mobile host and the ISP, but only as IP broadcast messages because the mobile host is not addressable on network (IP) layer.
  • IP network
  • the IP host configuration procedures are now described in conjunction with the signaling sequence shown in Fig. 7.

  • the first part of the GPRS logical link is the GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) to the SGSN.
  • GTP is carried on IP, and thus, a change of reservation for this internal IP network may be needed if the current reservation cannot handle an additional application flow.
  • the GGSN also asks the SGSN to check the latter part of the logical link towards the mobile host. This latter part of the logical link has two "hops" - SGSN-to-BSS and BSS-to-mobile host.
  • the SGSN controls the reservation in both hops and indicates to the GGSN whether the change in reservation for the QoS class in the PDP context is acceptable.
  • the GGSN provides the QoS information on packet delay and bandwidth for the application flow to the next router on the chain.
  • the first parameter is a link dependent delay that can be divided into a rate independent part (C) and a rate dependent part (D) part.
  • the required delay of the end-to-end path between the mobile host and the end system at the ISP can be calculated as the sum of:
  • D req - the implicit total delay required by the mobile host
  • S a slack term between a desired and a reserved delay
  • b a buffer bucket depth measured in bytes
  • R a negotiated mean bit rate (e.g., IP datagrams per second)
  • C tot is a sum of rate independent deviations from a fluid model
  • D is the sum of rate dependent deviations from a "fluid model.”
  • the fluid model defines transport through the network if there is no packet buffering, i.e., no packeting queuing, at any node.
  • the delay probability distribution for the GPRS bearer may be plotted based on a mean Packet Transfer Delay (PTD), a maximum packet transfer delay, and the delay deviation parameters compared to the fluid model consisting of the rate independent (C) and rate dependent (D) parts of the link dependent delay.
  • PTD Packet Transfer Delay
  • C rate independent
  • D rate dependent
  • the graph in Fig. 9 shows the probability density graphed against the delay for these variables.
  • the bucket depth b defines the number of bytes that a node is required to allocate to a flow in its buffer. The node does not police packets until the bucket depth b is reached. This is part of the QoS agreement.
  • the bucket depth b is used to determine maximum buffering requirements for an application flow B for a particular QoS.
  • the required buffer size is defined as follows:
  • C sum and D sum are the sum of individual routers C and D.
  • the routers include GGSN and other routers on the path between the mobile host and the end system at the ISP.
  • the GGSN installs the bucket depth b for the QoS reservation.
  • the end system at the ISP sends a path reservation message including the session ID assigned to the flow.
  • the GGSN forwards the RSVP path message to the mobile host using a best efforts GPRS quality of service.
  • the path reservation message also includes a traffic specification (TSPEC).
  • TSPEC describes the characteristics of the application flow that the ISP end system is sending, e.g., rate and delay sensitivity.
  • the mobile host responds to the GGSN with a RSVP reservation (RESV) message.
  • the RESV message includes a FLOWSPEC and a FILTERSPEC.
  • the FLOWSPEC describes the rate and delay reservation that the mobile host is requesting for the flow.
  • the FILTERSPEC defines in which ways the mobile host allows the network to merge the mobile host reservation with other receivers in a multicast environment.
  • the GGSN applies policy and admission control to the reservation request.
  • the GGSN maps the RSVP request to the GPRS GTP update PDP context request.
  • the GTP update PDP context request is sent to the SGSN.
  • the message relates to changing the bandwidth for the GPRS bearer for the particular mobile host, PDP context and QoS delay class to which the application flow belongs.
  • the SGSN determines by checking the subscription corresponding to the mobile host in the HLR 42 whether the quality of service reservations may be made for the specific QoS delay class (referred to as POLICY CONTROL). The SGSN also determines whether there is sufficient capacity for the reservation for the "radio leg" (referred to as ADMISSION CONTROL). If the policy and admission controls are satisfied, the SGSN sends a GTP update PDP context response to the GGSN. The GGSN maps the GTP response to the RSVP request and changes the bandwidth reservation of the GPRS tunnel to the SGSN for the PDP context and QoS delay class, if necessary. Preferably, the reservation tunnel is overdimensioned, and therefore, a separate reservation change may not be required. The reservation tunnel preferably aggregates several mobile hosts and PDP contexts.
  • the SGSN estimates the requested quality of service delay by monitoring the time between link layer packet transmissions and acknowledgments. The estimates are used to evaluate if new reservations may be accepted without affecting existing reservations. The estimates are also used to provide the delay deviations compared to the fluid model that are need for RSVP.
  • the BSS sends a BSSGP flow control message to the SGSN to inform the SGSN of the current traffic condition from the BSS to the mobile host and the availability of providing the requested quality of service rate given those traffic conditions. If the rate within a geographical radio area is low, no new reservation may be made in SGSN.
  • the SGSN allocates at least twenty percent of available BSC/cell capacity to the best effort quality of service delay class to minimize packet loss for predicted delay flows in the GPRS bearer.
  • the SGSN sends a BSSGP flow control acknowledgment to the BSS for a received window.
  • the data packet forwarding procedures include packet classifying, scheduling, and policing functions.
  • various queues/buffers are employed in the BSS and the SGSN.
  • An example configuration of queues in the BSS and SGSN is shown in Fig. 1 1.
  • the BSS includes a queue for mobility management signaling at each base station cell as well as a queue for each of four quality of service delay classes QoS 1-QoS 4 at each base station cell.
  • the SGSN includes three different levels of queues used to classify and merge packets.
  • the first layer of queues is at the SNDCP protocol layer. One queue is established for packets having the same PDP context and quality of service delay class.
  • the second queue layer includes one queue for packets corresponding to the same mobile host and quality of service delay class.
  • the third queue layer includes a queue storing packets corresponding to the same cell and quality of service delay class.
  • GGSN packet classification, scheduling, and policing (all of which involve buffer management) are performed.
  • the GGSN, SGSN, and BSS each perform such a set of packet functions.
  • a number of known packet classification, scheduling, and policing algorithms may be used.
  • the GGSN "polices,” (i.e., checks that the flows are within agreed limits and discards packets if not,) the RSVP application flows, classifies those application flows corresponding to their PDP context and quality of service delay class, and schedules forwarding of packets based on the tunnel protocol (GTP) reservation for the PDP context and quality of service delay class.
  • GTP tunnel protocol
  • the SGSN classifies and schedules packets on a MS basis.
  • the BSS preferably employs a first-in- first-out (FIFO) scheduling algorithm for frames of packets received with the same quality of service delay class and cell identifier. Prioritization of packet transfer scheduling between quality of service delay classes is also preferably controlled by the BSS with the BSS passing LLC frames having a higher quality of service delay class before transferring LLC frames having a lower quality of service delay class.
  • FIFO first-in- first-out
  • Fig. 12 shows an example message sequence for forwarding network layer packets to the mobile host from the ISP.
  • the GGSN receives from the ISP an IP packet application flow destined for the mobile host.
  • the GGSN performs bandwidth policing for each application flow using for example an RSVP leaky bucket algorithm or other PDP specific algorithm.
  • the admissible incoming packets are then classified by PDP context/quality of service delay class. Those classified packets are scheduled for GTP transfer over the GPRS logical bearer established for the mobile host's PDP context based on the RSVP bandwidth reservation for that application flow.
  • GTP tunneling protocol
  • the GGSN encapsulates the IP packet flow with the tunnel identifier and the reserved quality of service for that application flow.
  • the encapsulated packet flow is received by the SGSN which performs bandwidth policing of the flow from a particular GGSN and quality of service delay class.
  • the SGSN also classifies the packets corresponding to mobile subscriber ID (MSID), PDP context, and quality of service delay class.
  • MSID mobile subscriber ID
  • PDP context PDP context
  • quality of service delay class Preferably, the SGSN uses a fair queuing (e.g., bit wise round robin) algorithm for packet scheduling at the SNDCP/LLC level to merge several PDP contexts of the mobile terminal with the same quality of service delay class.
  • a weighted fair queuing (WFQ) algorithm may be used for scheduling packet transfer at the BSSGP level using the tunnel bandwidth reservation data relating to each mobile terminal/quality of service delay class in order to merge LLC application flows of the same quality of service delay class from different mobile terminals in a single queue. The queued data is then transferred to the BSS, which classifies the incoming data by cell and quality of service delay class.
  • WFQ weighted fair queuing
  • the BSS preferably uses a FIFO scheduling algorithm for each cell/quality of service delay class queue in addition to configurable values for priority queuing for different quality of service delay classes.
  • the BSS then performs packet resource assignment at the RLC/MAC layers to transfer individual packets.
  • the packets are generally divided into data blocks, and one radio data channel may be shared by several mobile terminals with each radio block having a separate identifier.
  • Figs. 13 and 14 display the components active within the mobile host, GGSN, and SGSN, respectively, during application flow reservation and packet forwarding from an end system at an ISP to a mobile host. All three systems have a control engine and a forwarding engine.
  • the control engine is active during application flow reservation, while the forwarding engine is active during packet forwarding.
  • the RSVP daemons in the mobile host and the GGSN are responsible for the resource reservation protocol exchange at the IP layer and communicate with each other using the RSVP protocol.
  • the RSVP daemon checks with the policy controller to determine if the mobile host subscribes to the QoS.
  • the RSVP daemon also checks with the admission controller if the forwarding system can accommodate another QoS reservation based on available resources.
  • the RSVP daemon instructs the packet classifier which parameter to use when separating incoming packets into different queues.
  • the RSVP daemon instructs the packet scheduler which scheduling technique to use when merging queues towards the output ports of the system.
  • the GGSN routing process decides to which output port a packet will be sent based on destination address, etc.
  • the SGSN performs a similar function in its mobility management process which keeps track of the location of the mobile host.
  • the GTP daemon has the same responsibilities as the RSVP daemon but on the GPRS link layer between SGSN and GGSN.
